Sutrayana study focuses more on the philosophical underpinnings of our lineage. The Sutrayana online course series includes an introduction course and a two-part course that offers in-depth study in the classical Hinayana and Mahayana teachings.<\/p>\n

The courses allow an opportunity to study the teachings and integrate them into our daily lives. The curriculum of each course include assigned readings, study questions, talks, exams, and live teaching sessions with a Dharma Ocean teacher. Participants examine the foundational perspectives of this lineage. Guided meditations, ongoing contemplations, active discussion groups, and a continuing relationship with a personal meditation instructor help bring these perspectives to life.<\/p>\n

There are no prerequisites for Sutrayana Part One: The Hinayana<\/em>. However, Sutrayana Part Two: The Mahayana<\/em> requires the successful completion of part one. Both are necessary for those who are interested in the Vajrayana stage of the journey. Sutrayana students who are interested in the Vajrayana are required to actively participate in discussion groups and pass the course exams.<\/p>\n
